The Bandmaster Part I

Unfortunately, I can only find a portion of this cartoon online, though the complete cartoon is part of the DVD set The Woody Woodpecker and Friends Classic Cartoon Collection. The clip below is courtesy of Kevin Langley.

Lots of appealing animation in this one, and great spontaneity in the timing, especially that chase to catch the high diver (and failing anyway). I'm surprised Grim Natwick did a lot of work on this cartoon. The clean up must have been at an all time high because it's his only work at Lantz that doesn't look sloppy.
